Acqua E Zucchero revolves around a minimalist yet very distinctive gourmandise. From the opening, sugar appears immediately, light but very present, with an almost watery facet that prevents any heaviness. The effect is simple, direct, almost addictive. Then, the fragrance becomes rounder and more enveloping. The sweetness settles in further, with a slightly musky texture that gives the sugar a more "skin-like" dimension, less food-like. Over time, Acqua e Zucchero melts into a soft and clean, very delicate base, where the gourmandise becomes more diffused. The signature is light, sweet and comforting, with a discreet sillage.

Profumum Roma is an Italian perfumery house founded in 1996 in Rome by four siblings: Giuseppe, Luciano, Maria, and Felice Durante. Their story began long before, in a village in Molise, where their grandfather Celestino returned from the war with little to his name. The village’s knife-grinders became the most important perfumers in the Eternal City. When the perfumery market shifted towards globalization and standardization, the four siblings no longer recognized themselves in it. They felt manipulated, no longer free in their own work. In 1996, they created Profumum Roma. It was a direct response to standardization: fragrances formulated with approximately 43% concentration, built around 8 to 10 essential raw materials, one of which is clearly predominant, so that each fragrance expresses an emotion rather than a generic accord. These are perfumes that evolve on the skin for hours, leaving a distinct impression as much as they accompany the wearer. What one wears with a Profumum Roma is a fragment of this journey: from the mountain village to the streets of Rome. An artisanal house, in the most natural sense of the term.
